Tags:
Tags are a way to identify something and use that identification to search in the future.
Examples: Certifications, Commission Tiers and Employment Status
Default Commission Rates: Enter default commission rates for each reservation category. This will automatically populate in reservations that the advisor reports but can be edited from the reservation.
Note: Default commission rates are only editable by Admin and Manager user types.
Communications:
Add unlimited communications such as phone, email, social media, or website information.
Interface IDs
The Advisor Interface ID is the advisor’s unique two‑character GDS agent ID (sine). This value is essential because Tres relies on it to assign interfaced reservations to the correct advisor.
Addresses
Add a physical address with the option to include a mailing address.
Remarks
Advisor Profile Remarks are internal remarks for your agency and are not client facing.
Branding
Set up advisor specific branding by uploading a logo and headshot, and choosing a primary color. Upload a logo and/or headshot by dragging and dropping it or clicking the Browse button to search for it on your computer. Supported file formats are .jpg and .png, and there is a maximum file size limit of 2MB. We recommend using logos no larger than 500 pixels.
Once you have uploaded your logo and/or headshot, you can preview them before saving.
Choose your primary color by either selecting a color via the color selector or entering a HEX value. This color is currently used on the Trip Statement and Client Statement.
Enter an advisor specific brand name in the Branding Name field and select a default Address from the dropdown menu. If "No Address" is selected, no address will be shown on the Trip Statement. If "Advisor Address" is selected, the Mailing Address and Branding Name of the Advisor profile will be displayed. If there's no Mailing Address in the Advisor profile, the Physical Address will be displayed, and if there are no addresses in the Advisor profile, an address will not be shown on the Trip Statement. If “Branch Address” is selected, the Branch address will be shown on the Trip Statement. If “Agency Address” is selected, the Agency address will be shown on the Trip Statement.
Click Save All at the top right corner of the screen.

If branding is added at the Advisor level, it will override the branding at the Branch and the Agency level.
